Abstract

This study aimed to investigate the relationship between ethical leadership and whistleblowing intentions by examining employees' personal values as a potential moderating variable on this relationship. Using explanatory and cross-sectional survey design, the study found a significant positive association between ethical leadership and whistleblowing intention. This positive association was found to be stronger when subordinates have a higher rather than lower level of personal values, confirming the usefulness of personal values as a new moderating variable which explains the mechanism or process by which ethical leadership can have a strong or weak influence on whistleblowing intention, especially in a power-distant cultural environment.
